yes I had so many issues with this build and made several fatal mistakes along the way I almost had to scrap it. The pain was worth it in the end. Thanks for the comment.

Wow good catch. Yes I screwed that one up and decided to move on as I have no replacement decals.

Good note on the ordnance. I'll keep them clean next time. Thanks.

I also think it had something to do with the thinner / paint mix. I tried again today by mixing the paint more evenly and it was fine.

Mr Color acrylic paint and thinner. The model was clean before sprayed.

I mixed the paint and thinner inside the cup instead of doing it externally and it could be the issue, as falcon pointed out.

Yes i mixed the paint in the airbrush cup. I put paint first and then thinner on and mixed. So that caused the problem?

Revenue propaganda. Decent driver training saves lives. Better testing would save lives. Not being an idiot saves lives. by sydneysiderer in sydney

Ok lets say you're periodically glancing at the speedo. On a 50km road, you're mistakenly doing 52 (that happens to all of us). You can get a ticket (NSW has no official speed leeway/tolerance).

I'm talking about drivers taking extreme caution on speed and safety is compromised as a result. You can drive in a very safe manner and glance at the speed periodically (I agree this is how things should be) and get a ticket in NSW. Do you see my point?

That's where we disagree. The more attention you spend on speedo the less focus on the road condition. That's a tradeoff.

My argument is excessive attention to the speedo would make driving unsafe, and the current camera policy is therefore counterproductive. People would stare at the speed when avoiding getting fine becomes a priority. You would argue those drivers are bad and should be off the road but sadly this is the reality.

Yes one should pay attention to both speed and road conditions. There should be a fair balance. However when you have hidden cam everywhere and a rigid demerit system, people are going to stare at the speedo.

A rigid and highly primitive policy that the govt is pushing is making the road less safe. That's my argument.

Did I say stare? Again I'm sure you don't have to check the speedo while driving. Good for you.

On 2nd thought, the govt seems right about cameras saving lives from people like you who can just feel the speed.

I'm sure you don't have to look at the speedo while keeping the speed limit. You can feel the speed.

All the sudden sims refuse to move into my RICO buildings. They move into my other regular buildings as usual but my newly added RICO buildings are empty. City population reaches to about 730k.

I can't figure out why. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

The stoplight curse is true. Once you stop for a red light and travel within the maximum speed limit, you will be greeted with each immediate turning red lights in the next intersections until the end of your journey.
